Triton Softball Edges Georgetown 5-4 With 4-Run Seventh

Emily Jutras scores the winning run for Triton in the 7th.

Jenn Delaney delivered the game winner for Triton.

(Byfield)  Triton (4-6) rallied for four runs in the bottom of the seventh to edge Georgetown, 5-4, in Cape Ann League softball action on Monday afternoon.

This is a game that Georgetown (2-3), as a team, won’t remember fondly and I dare say pitcher Sarah Erlandson would rather forget even more so.

Sarah took over for her sister Jane in the bottom of  the fifth in a 1-1 game.  The talented senior survived a three-walk fifth with three K’s and then helped her team grab a 3-run lead (4-1) in the top of sixth with an RBI single.

Sarah had more trouble finding the strike zone in the bottom of the six and issued three more free passes.  She escaped unscathed for the second straight inning because of Viking miscues on the bases.  First, catcher Taylor Nelson gunned down Marion Dullea trying to get to third on a wild pitch.  Then Kylie Gilroy fell victim to the look back rule after walking and Sarah struck out Jenn Delaney to end that promising inning for Triton.

Unfortunately for Georgetown, the strike zone continued to elude the Royals’ pitcher in the seventh and this time there was no escape.  Three of the first four batters received walks and Emily Jutras drove in two of them with a double to center.  Another walk loaded the bases with two outs and then Kylie Gilroy walked to force in Brooke Jamison from third to tie the score.  That set the stage for Jenn Delaney, who had struck out to end the sixth,  to stroke a hit to left and score Emily with the winning run.

Marion Dullea pitched a complete game.

Winning pitcher Marion Dullea retired the last six batters in a row after giving up three runs in the 6th.  She gave up six hits to go with five strikeouts and just one walk.

Jane Erlandson pitched her first four innings this season for the varsity.  The sophomore allowed three hits and one walk to go with three strikeouts.  She is not as fast as her sister but on this day had much better control.

Georgetown picked up a run in the first on a couple of hits including Taylor Nelson’s single to left that drove in Kassie Barba.

Triton’s solo run (in the 4th) was driven in by Vanessa Eisen.  Emily Jutras was the run scorer.  She had singled and stolen second before Vanessa’s hit to left.

Both Sarah Erlandson and Emily Jutras led their team’s with two hits each.

(I collect my own stats and draw my own conclusions.  Mistakes happen unintentionally.)

Newburyport Takes Triton 2-1 in Softball

Cori Simons slides in under Cassie Davis while Molly Rowe backs up the play.

(Newburyport)  I hoped to take in/write about the Newburyport/Triton softball game this afternoon but was misguided by the online edition of the Newburyport Daily News to Byfield rather than Cashman Park.

Beth Castantini catches the final out for Newburyport

I did end up seeing almost all of the game and watched Newburyport (4-2) prevail, 2-1, in a Cape Ann League contest on Wednesday afternoon that was undecided until Beth Castantini, playing first, latched onto a last-out popup in the top of the 7th.

Beth at first base was a bit of a novelty by her account.  “I haven’t played there since, like, seventh grade,” I overheard her say during between-innings practice after she had taken over first.  She did fine there.  She handled a low throw from Maddie Stanton (3B) and later took in the final out.

Before that final out, the Vikings (2-5) had runners on second and third and were in excellent position to tie or even go ahead, but it didn’t happen.

Molly Rowe (six strikeouts) was the complete-game winner for the Clippers.  Marion Dullea (eight strikeouts) went the distance for Triton.

Rachel Webster heads for third after a long triple to center. Her pinch runner (Molly Sullivan) would later score what turned out to be the winning run with Eleni Kacher getting the RBI.

A long triple by Rachel Webster set up Newburyport’s winning run in the 4th.

Cori Simons scored Triton’s only run in the 6th.

(I take my own pictures and collect my own stats……as best I can.)

Everyone wanted to play!

Early Runs and Strong Pitching by Marion Dullea Pace Triton Girls to 3-1 Win Over Ipswich

Marion Dullea (#13) struck out eight Ipswich batters and gave up only two hits.

(Byfield) The Triton Vikings got all the runs they needed in the first inning and then rode the 8-strikeout effort of Marion Dullea to a 3-1 win over Ipswich on Tuesday afternoon at Triton.  Marion allowed just two hits.

The victory gets Triton off to a nice 1-0 start in the Cape Ann League.

Even in defeat the Tigers had to be pleased by their effort.  They were on the wrong end of a 15-0 mercy-rule disaster against Amesbury in non-league play the day before.

Cori Simons scored a run and drove in a run for the Vikings

Ipswich pitcher Katie Glaubitz walked two of the first three batters she faced and both of them scored.  Jenn Delaney drove in Cori Simons with a fielders choice while a single to center by Kelsey Trudel delivered Emily Jutras.

Those two runs were enough but the Vikings got another in the second when Cori’s double in the gap brought home Shannen Sinton with the third Triton run.

That 3-0 lead held up for a while as Marion retired eleven straight Tigers before Liz Glavin reached on an error by Jenn Delaney in the 4th inning.  Sam Wideberg followed with a walk but Marion caught Cassie Taraska looking to end the threat.

The next inning (5th) Maddy Pinciaro led off for Ipswich and reached on a bunt single. The Tiger third baseman would get all the way to third before Marion K’d Michelle Mitchell to keep the Tigers shut out.

Ipswich scored its lone run in the 6th when catcher Liz Glavin ripped a ball down the left field line that Emily Jutras couldn’t cut off.  Triton didn’t handle the relay back in cleanly and Liz scored standing up.

The Tigers stranded runners in both of the final two innings.

Liz Glavin rounds third on her way to a stand-up home run.

Marion threw plenty of strikes and caught five Tigers looking during her complete-game effort.

Katie Glaubitz settled down nicely over the final four innings allowing just two Viking base runners.

The Ipswich girls had a chant for almost every situation.  There seemed to be no limit to their creativity.

The lack of seating and any sort of scoreboard might be enough to discourage the average spectator.  I tried sitting on the edge of the field. That location stopped being a good idea when someone mentioned the abundance of deer ticks in the area.
